The Half-Puny Priest Hopes To Retire

177 – Runaway (2)

Fucked.

There was nothing to even think about.

Even if you only have the perception skills of a three-year-old child, you can easily tell how desperate I am right now.

”You’re back to normal! Father! You are so fortunate!”

At first glance, that powerful throat sound seemed no different from usual, but the only thing that was okay was the way he spoke.

A deep feeling of despair was overflowing from the pitiful appearance of the warrior with both hands on the floor and his head down.

”It seems like words and actions are playing separately…”

Apis, who was suddenly muttering to himself, seemed to have the same thoughts as me.

Occipital head.

At that moment, a lot of something poured out of the warrior’s arms, and naturally my vision towards that place became distant for a moment.

The countless pieces of clothing that fell from the warrior’s arms were actually high-quality children’s clothing.

Starting with cute one-piece pajamas made in the shape of animals, short sleeves that make it easy to freeze to death if worn at this time of year. Shorts. Even down to overalls.

Among them were rattles that only babies would play with.

Suddenly, my hair became tender.

It was because I had a good guess as to what purpose the warrior had purchased those items for.

I am truly fortunate that my body has returned to its original state.

It was a moment when I felt relieved that I had narrowly avoided a terrible disaster that might have befallen me, and I was heartbroken for a moment.

”Hey, warrior. Are you okay…?”

He lowered his head and sobbed for a while, and finally Apis, who was worse than he was, spoke worried words to the warrior who showed signs of bursting into tears.

”It’s okay, it’s okay. Apis. The fact that the little bride has disappeared means that the big bride is alive and well. How can there be two suns in this world! If there is a meeting, there is also a parting! I am a warrior! I will accept this separation and move forward resolutely!”

”Is that so…”

”Step! I won’t say goodbye! From now on, the little bride’s side can be created by me and the big bride together! The little bride’s cute body too! The big bride’s ripe body too! I will never give up!”

”Oh, yes… Cheer up…”

Something was strange.

Looking at its appearance alone, it is a noble scene of a warrior who did not give in to great hardships and adversity, overcoming despair and resolving to hope.

As I watched the series of processes closely, my eyes were being consumed by a deep sense of despair.

I was scolded.

If I just let go and stay like this, I’ll end up becoming a real father.

”Then I’ll just wash off the sweat and come back! Apis! Father!”

”Ugh, uhm… Yes, yes…”

”Everyone, please go. Warrior…”

Jump up!

After saying those words, the warrior left his seat.

Unusually for her, she didn’t try to approach me as much as possible.

Seeing as he was trying to wash off the sweat that soaked his body as quickly as possible, it seemed like the warrior really just ran to the next city.

If I wanted to relax to feel my younger self, I would have just done muscle training in place.

Should I call it simple or honest?

Every time I saw the warrior’s excessively upright disposition, I felt very embarrassed.

But now I live thanks to that uprightness.

”I don’t think you got caught…?”

”I don’t know. First of all, I don’t think I noticed it right now, but it won’t last long…”

I had a brief discussion with Apis in the room, which had become noticeably quiet just because the hero had left.

The hero’s early return home was certainly unexpected, but fortunately, the minimum necessary measures had already been taken.

I used Apis’ elemental magic to deodorize as much as possible the odors from my actions that were prevalent in the room and on my body.

In case the warrior realized the whole series of situations and tried to harm the nun, the saint was urgently placed in the room where the nun was sleeping as a guard.

It was a close miss, but we did it.

It was the first time I realized that my body could move so intelligently.

”First of all, as much as possible, we do not allow them to enter the room where the nun is. And I will refrain from getting closer to the hero for a while…”

”I don’t think it’ll be of any use…”

Apis suddenly furrowed her eyebrows as if she was quite dissatisfied with my desperate solution.

But I knew best how faint a hope I was chasing.

The odds of such a foolish tactic working against that hero, who is no one else, would be the same as finding a needle in the desert.

That’s why, when all that didn’t work, I had already prepared to burn my own body.

It was an action for my own sake, but it was also an action for the warrior’s safety.

Even though she has become much gentler in recent years, even God could not guarantee what kind of extreme reaction the saintly woman, whose obsession with me was as strong as that of the hero, would react when I overlapped her body with the hero

So for now, there was nothing I could do other than cling to the glimmer of hope that was right around the corner.

”I don’t know, so should I wash one more time? No, if it ends up like this, I’d rather just roll around in a manure field somewhere…!”

”Hey! No, no matter what, that’s a bit much!”

”Yes! You don’t have to!”

”─!?”

It was right then.

The warrior’s voice rang loudly in my lost consciousness for a moment.

The vivid melody, which seemed to have echoed directly into my consciousness without passing through his ears, stopped my smoothly moving heartbeat for several seconds.

”Hey, warrior…?”

”Dragon…?”

Apis and I both followed the voice at the same time.

Then, the figure of the warrior smiling brightly between us, with his arm around Apis and me, came into view.

Since when? How. Why.

The soap bubble-like doubts that passed through my mind burst in vain under the belated needle of fear that rose up.

Grinning.

His expression was as clear and innocent as usual, but in a situation like this, such factors only aggravated his anxiety.

Seup. Ha.

Immediately after that, it went without saying that the uneasy breathing in silence contained a murderous intent whose intensity could not even be guessed.

”Indeed, that’s right. Sister, you broke your promise to me.”

I didn’t even have time to be shocked at the absurd behavior of the warrior who understood the natural order of the incident solely through smell.

It was very obvious what kind of emotions the warrior would feel when he realized that the nun and I had overlapped bodies last night.

‘I’m going to kill you.’

It was around the time when the hero’s intentions were his, which he recognized with his body his his, not his mind his his, with his instincts his rather than his reason his his, slowly sawed into his skin like sticky ink.

”Wait! Hero! That’s an accident! Yes, it was an accident!”

”Warrior! Calm down! If you do something here, it won’t end with you dying one by one!”

Every time the warrior breathes in and out, the atmosphere vibrates as if he is scared.

That was an unspoken signal that the warrior’s anger was reaching a critical point.

I took charge of the upper body and Apis took charge of the lower body, and I roughly grabbed the warrior’s body.

If it were any other time, you wouldn’t know.

Because the hero has now exhausted his strength to the limit.

A gamble worth taking was an action that resulted from an accident.

But it didn’t take long for us to realize that it was a ridiculous miscalculation.

Puzzle. Grumpy.

The surrounding furniture explodes one by one due to the spirit radiating from the warrior.

It was from that moment that the remnants of consciousness in the warrior’s eyes completely disappeared.

Kwaang─!

”Wow!”

Apis was thrown against the wall with a strong sound that passed through her ears.

Immediately after that, I tried my best to stop the warrior, who was trotting like a robot after receiving an order, but of course it was not enough.

”Hero—!”

The desperate cry to regain his senses seemed to have failed to reach the consciousness of the warrior, who was wrapped in layers of intense anger.

Slam!

It was right then.

The warrior’s hand floundered in the air several times, roughly grabbed the holy sword that was lying on the desk.

The worst happened on top of another worst.

It was a situation where even the best weapon of mankind was placed in the hands of a warrior who had lost his sense of reason and only had the instinct to kill.

”Wow! Drop!”

Sigh!

Even though it was belated, he called Baeulgi and wrapped him around the warrior’s body, but he had implicitly realized through his experience so far that this too would end in a futile struggle.

Stop.

However, at that moment, something happened that I couldn’t believe even when I saw it with my own eyes.

The warrior’s advance, which seemed to never stop until he his goal, suddenly stopped.

‘ Hehe!”

That whitish laughter combined with the bloody silence was clearly the hero’s, but it was not the hero’s.

”At las! The day to revenge that day’s shame has finally arrived!”

Another mysterious voice mixed with the hero’s bold voice.

That soothing sound, which clearly revealed the speaker’s arrogant attitude just by reciting one sentence, suddenly flashed in my mind a memory of a time I had forgotten for a while.

”It’s been a long time! Underworld people!”

Something that tried to eat the warrior during the dungeon commotion the other day. No, someone used the words of a warrior to give me a sly reunion greeting.
